How The Fuchsia Was Introduced.

There is a pretty story told of the
introduction of the fuchsia. One day.
many years ago, a London florist was
along a street in one of the suburbs of
that monster city, when he happened
to see a wonderfully-beaut flower IN
the window of u DIVE ling. We have a
right TO presume that the florist Wa
enthusiastic upon the subject of rare
plants, and, granting this, we can
easily imagine him making an entrance
to the house, and, possibly restraining
himself with the utmost difficulty from
Selling the wonderful flower and
marching triumphantly off with it.
However, having the Englishman's
natural reverence for law, and Judging

golden sovereign would probably be the
most poten influence which he could
bring to bear, the gentleman offered
the possessor Of it. lady, that amount
in good English gold. 1t was firmly
and bravely refused. He doubled the
sum. and again. and finally it was re-
fused. The lady said her husband was
sea-captain who sailed the Mediter-
ranean. He had brought this plant
home TO her, and she would not part
with it; however. being possessed with
that other notable English characters
tic, generosity, she gave the florist some
slips of the plant From this plant
says our chronicler, have sprung all
the English and American fuchsias.
